Elevation Holdovers

Once the distance has been calculated using the EBR-1 MOA
reticle, or a laser rangefinder, the EBR-1 can be used for rapid
holdover correction for bullet drop of the cartridge being used.
To get the most benefit out of the EBR-1 equipped riflescope,
Vortex Optics highly recommends shooters learn their bullet drop
numbers in MOAs rather than inches.

Since the EBR-1 reticle is scaled in 2 MOA increments, it is an
easy job to quickly select the correct drop reference line once the
shooter knows the bullet drops in MOAs. If the shooter prefers to
dial come ups for bullet drop using the elevation knob, knowing
bullet drops in MOAs rather than inches will allow for much faster
adjustments as the MOAs can be quickly read on the elevation
knob.

17.5 MOA reticle holdover at 625 yards. No wind.
